Jp450r 1 Posted December 5, 2018 I know this should be simple to do but i have been racking my brain trying to figure it out. Can anyone help me by telling me how to do something like this in Vinyl Master pro? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted December 5, 2018 I'm not awesome with VM but essentially you will start with the square and round the corners then start dropping the other elements on top of it and knocking them out so they create a hole or gap where they intersect. Might want to do them one at a time since you're learning. The @ symbol you will outline to create the space around the swoop and use the outline to knock out the space or you can trace that out by hand.

The @ cut out of the logo is what i need to learn to do. Sorry i was not clear in my first post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Punch Out - Quick Lesson so just duplicate say the @ symbol then punch out the one over the logo. Then drag the other into the space made by the punch out? While i have you here Vinylmaster, how do i get the knife tool to highlight so i can use it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't, there will not be a gap and it'll just look like the @ blends with the camera graphic. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
